reelbigfish Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 She just broke things off. 3 months ago I met a girl who was engaged. She broke her engagement off to be with me (because I told her I wasn't dating someone engaged). We dated had a great time etc. but she says she still has a lot of feelings for her ex fiance (dated 4 years). She tried to dump him this summer before she met me and his response was a shock and awe tactic - propose in front of the family and put the pressure on. Fast forward to yesterday at lunch - she said she needs space and she knows she is dragging me down and she said it's not fair for me if she is dating me with all these feelings for me and for him. I didn't really respond much at all given the experience I had with ex's in the past. I simply said ok I understand, said good bye and hung up the phone. The only mistake I made was telling her if she needed me in the future for a very serious reason (drunk and no one she can trust around or something similar) that she can give me a call and trust me. She followed this with a text about 30 minutes later saying something to this effect "sorry I just don't think this is fair to you at all - i hope this doesn't make your finals week worse". There may have been some more but I did my new course of action anytime this happens. I wrote her number down on a piece of paper and put in a drawer and deleted her number and all texts from my phone. Her roommate texted me tonight telling me she (meaning the roommate) hasn't seen me this week and was seeing how I was and where have I been. She also said that my ex wasn't around so I shouldn't feel uncomfortable talking. I have not responded yet and I think I probably won't. What would you guys do? P.S. I'm very aware my ex is around - her roommate is just trying to mask it. Her roommate has never texted me and her roommate has been out of town until today so why would I have seen her at all this week (which by the way is only 2 days old). So again I ask - what should I do?
